The idea was to reorder/duplicate each insn together with its line note (or
rather, reorder/duplicate an interval of insns starting from
node->first_note until the node->insn itself). Compared to haifa-sched's
scheme of saving the notes, reordering the insns, then restoring the notes.
The line notes are not used to find insn locations -- we carry them along
because we had to. If we no longer need to worry about keeping each line
note adjacent to its insn during scheduling, that would simplify things.
Please advise.
Line notes are also used to dump SMS statistics, but for that any locator
will do.
Not sure about "loop notes"?
